I have, this is mmo-champion. Perhaps you mistook it for elitist jerks? The color schemes are similar.

Elitist Jerks > MMO-Champions for theorycrafting.
If you need further facts, go look at the beta testing logs IF you have access to any top world guilds logs (or US for that matter) and you'll see full 2h Frost.

Those do not looked like Expertise gems in red sockets.
The yellow sockets show haste / mastery, but it is debatable.
Again, when heroic progression begins look at any top ranking death knight, look at logs if you have access, and tell me your findings, which I already know the conclusion of.

Been running with haste for a few heroics, Its hard but Frost is so RNG, The highest I´ve ever had with str gems with full burst on a boss is 91k on a 2-3 min fight. but now with haste gems the highest I´ve ever had was around 70k, this is a fight without any kind of AOE, Army on Pull etc. Seems I will go back to Stre gems.

Keep in mind that Iam full BIS pre raiding and that I had the same buffs as with stre gems.

Also think thats stre will be the winner when it comes to things like Challange modes etc.

Obviously the Mastery ones are for DW and the Haste ones are for 2h, but it looks like its best to meet the slot requirements which, honestly supports most of what I have read during the Beta.

Yeah, if it wasn't for the fact Pullo isn't updating the guide accordantly. I'd rather follow simulationcraft sims, simply because they're the most updated and they are what the all theorycrafting is based on. Just take at look at this http://simulationcraft.org/505/Raid_..._Frost_2h_T14H
320 haste in yellows, 80 str/160 haste in reds. Unless someone proves me that the difference is minimal with real evidence, I'm still confused to what to gem for. This all thread was to prevent me to waste time on the matter and actually run the simulations by myself :/

Elitist Jerks also goes in depth if you read the comments, the theorycrafting can get pretty in-depth.

But who was saying that you'd never gem STR in red sockets?

You said "STR is the best stat", implying that gemming for anything but Bolds is stupid (by also saying that you lost "dps gemming as you mentioned."

You're not following the flow of conversation very well.

Sure, Bolds for reds. But a mix of hit/exp/haste/mastery for the other slots.

Also, you mock people for mentioning DW Frost, but posters on EJ clearly submit content about it. Go mock them too, you bad boy you.

People seem to be confusing stat weights with optimal gem strategy. They are not the same. Reforging discussions are irrelevant, since no matter what you will be reforging to a secondary stat and can just go with whatever gets you closest to hit/exp caps without going over. If you want to gem hit/exp and then reforge to all haste/mastery go ahead, but the outcome will be the same as if you had reforged to hit/exp and then gemmed for haste/mastery.

SIMULATIONS have haste somewhere in the ~0.6 range (strength = 1). Meaning that from a gem perspective 1 quick gem is better than 1 bold gem (haste is not better than strength point for point though). So, if simulations are to be believed then the "correct" way to gem would be

red = haste/strength or mastery/strength
yellow = haste or mastery
blue = depends on whether you are using gems or reforging to reach hit/exp cap.

If you don't believe simulations or want to see actual raid parses, then I would go with strength, haste/strength or mastery strength, and strength/hit.

Not necessarily bolds for reds. Again, you want to look at the value of each stat on gems, include the socket bonus, and add it all up.

For example, imagine you have a red socket with a 60 strength socket bonus and are under the expertise cap. This first set of scenarios uses the DW frost stat weights I generated earlier in the thread.

The purple gem also significantly beats the straight strength one. However gemming straight hit doesn't because you lose the socket bonus. Now lets look at the other secondary stats. Remember you're DW frost so you want mastery.

As you can see, gemming mastery for DW frost does not make sense, since strength (3.52) is over twice as valuable as mastery (1.50). But what if you were 2H frost and looking to gem haste (1.55) over strength (2.86)?

This shows why it makes sense to gem haste for 2H frost. It's over half as valuable as strength, and you can get twice as much of it on gems. Is it a big improvement? No, definitely not. But it is technically the optimal way to go.

If EJ says otherwise, they're wrong. It's happened before and it will again-- Consider isn't writing the guides these days, and their traffic is way down.

"laughs" as in, you're in some top 100 US guilds, or EU, which means 0 after WoTLK.
Factors, which classes going to be stacked: SMF Fury Warriors, Affliction Warlocks, Mages (unless the situation demands otherwise.)
Please, go find yourself somewhere that casuals post.

Get off your high horse. You haven't posted data for any of your claims. Your argument is basically "Rammy and all the other DKs are doing it; get owned scrub." I guess you disagree with EJ about Runic Empowerment being a superior choice to RC as well? You were claiming as such on a thread here and over on the official forums as well. If you post against the data-driven status quo on EJ, you better have evidence for your claim or Carebare might slap you.

2H could very well be the superior choice for progression. I've seen better results from 2H personally but that's simply ANECDOTAL evidence. Name calling doesn't prove your point, it just makes you look arrogant and defensive. Feel free to post those logs that support your claims; it would be helpful to see them.

Okay, look at wowprogress.
Currently for normal modes my guild is ranked #2 for 25m (10m doesn't matter really), and if you look at logs the death knights who are gemming haste / expertise / hit are losing to our Death Knight (Gicks) who is gemming strength.

Although I haven't been on because I have been busy, I will be having logs up.
You can go do what you wish, but you won't be putting up the same numbers in comparison (especially if you go DW.)

So, you keep mentioning "World 100" guilds and whatnot, and trash-talking, and all that...

Your guild was ranked 10,307 in T13, 7,166 in T12, and 2,547 in T11. So, yeah, kindly step-off with that shit.
